Combined slim wallet and key organizer

Timeless Design

Slim wallets, card holders and money clips have been around
forever, but each is a compromise for carrying what you need. Slim wallets are not meant for keys. Card holders are clumsy with cash. Money clips really aren’t designed for
cards. Card holders with money clips are not slim. And key organizers require two
hands to use. My goal is to create uncompromised personal
accessories with timeless design. The result is three versatile products that are easy to use and barely noticeable to wear.

Organize your pockets. Carry only what you need.

Three Products:

KeyCase holds up to 6 keys in a perfectly flat case, the size of a credit card.

CardClip is a super-resilient money-clip, slightly longer than a credit card, designed to securely hold cards, ID and cash.

KeyClip combines KeyCase and CardClip in an integrated key organizer and wallet.

KeyClip

KeyClip shown with four keys, USB drive, cash, credit cards and ID

KeyCase

KeyCase, a key organizer only 0.2 inches thick, fits in most wallets.

CardClip

CardClip, a clip-style slim wallet, has great spring resiliency and easy card or cash access.

Specifically engineered to resist fatigue and last a lifetime, the low-profile Clip (only 0.34 inches tall) can hold up to five credit cards and reliably spring back to grip a single bill.

Five Options

Two cover plates: black or silver

Two backing plates: one-to-three keys (thinner) or one-to-six keys (thicker). Select the thicker backing plate for use with a USB drive.

CardClip holds up to 5 credit cards
(0.2"/5mm) or an equivalent amount of cards, ID and bills

Risks and challenges

I have a background in manufacturing and metal fabrication and several decades of experience developing products from inception though production. My company, Left Field Design, has a long history of helping companies produce successful products. Metal fabrication shops, that I’ve worked with in the past, will manufacture and pre-assemble the KeyClip product line. Final assembly and fulfillment will be completed at a San Mateo County (California) organization that employs folks who can’t find work. They assembled the first 10,000 unit production run of a recent LFD proprietary product and did excellent work.

There are a number of precautions in place to mitigate risk. Soon after reaching our funding goal, we’ll begin building production tooling, which takes about a month. Since our funding goal is low, this should give us a healthy head-start on our manufacturing timeline. Secondly, I have limited the KeyCase and KeyClip rewards for December 2013 delivery to approximately two thousand. If that number is met, new pledge rewards will be posted for February 2014 delivery, allowing enough time to meet our commitments.

With over twenty years of experience developing products, I’ve learned that stuff happens and when it does, a well-reasoned response always works. The deadline for our initial production run is realistic. It includes ramp-up time for up our first-production run. If there are delays, you can count on me to candidly communicate the reasons, solutions, and impact on schedule.

Hundreds of hours were spent working through the details of the design and manufacturing for the production products. The images on this web page show a short-run production of almost forty prototypes. The prototypes work well, look great and perform as they were designed to.

The funding goal will pay for metal fabrication tooling and a small production run. Our manufacturers are ready to go.

Kickstarter is not a store.
